Donna did an interview and in it she said the day she auditioned to be back up for M that M could not hear her. Thought she wasn't singing. Turned out that the reason M couldn't hear her is because Donna matched M's voice so good, that M thought she was just hearing herself. 😁

Yes Donna was hired because she sounded like M. Lots of singers have a background singer that sounds like them for extra support on record and can pad the vocals live. Niki brought the soul! 😃

Madonna’s on background. They bring her vocals up in the mix a little more at the end: “all that I have, all that I ask, all my dreams they fade so fast, don’t wake me up, not today. All my dreams will fade away.”

Donna just re-recorded this last year after not having sung it since 1989. The Bright Light Bright Light Remix is a tad slower than this, yet still evokes the '80s, without being a ballad. I dig it, but I see why you said this one was too fast after only hearing the mid-tempo new version for the past year. Someone else also pointed out that Donna's purple flowy top is either the same or reminiscent of the one Madonna wears on the Like A Prayer album art photos.

I’ve heard it said that Donna was typically singing the same part as Madonna to make her sound more fully rounded while Niki added the harmonies. It’s not a surprise that Donna sounds similar to M but M has a special unique voice that no one fully, 💯 sounds like Shoutout to the vintage snacks, though!

That is true. It's called Ghosting a vocal. Basically, Donna sings every note that Madonna sings live to make her voice sound fuller and cover up any mess ups. A lot of singers use ghost singers behind them. And Regina sang Madonna demos because she sounded like Madonna!

I think Til Death do Us Part fulfilled the same role this song would have. It's a dark song thematically with a light and poppy production that belies the lyrical tone. Of course, Til Death do us Part is more impactful, so Madonna went with that for the album. The funny thing is you hear the magic of Madonna's voice on this, despite Donna being a great singer. Just the barely audible breakthrough of Madonna's vocals on the bridge transcend all the other layers.

OMG the editor of this video needs to cut down on the caffeine! Chillllll, especially with the hyper-kinetic tempo and ludicrously pretentious yet basic dance moves, there doesn’t need to be a cut every second!! 🤦🏻♂️ Donna’s voice is a great match for Madonna’s, fattening out her vocals while Niki brought the next level of soul. Interesting you mention Belinda Carlisle, because Donna sang backup for Belinda too. It’s always so great hearing Madonna as a backup vocalist too. In a counter-intuitive way it really showcases the tonality and appeal of her voice, the warmth and drama it brings to a track. I know I’m not alone among Empressionists in feeling that every time you watch something featuring the backup girls, WE ARE LIVING FOR THE MOMENT WHEN YOU’RE WATCHING TRUTH OR DARE!⚡️⚡️⚡️

I think this track could have worked on Like a Prayer, but you're correct, it needs to be a bit slower. Another track that was written by Madonna, along with Patrick Lennoard and Jai Winding, is Possessive Love by Marilyn Martin. The track was produced by Patrick Lennoard with backing vocals by Donna DeLeroy. Released in 1988. It's not confirmed, but thought amongst fans that it was another reject from Like a Prayer. Maybe worth a listen so your Madonna journey covers all the bases? Here's the link to the song: kzitem.info/news/bejne/pa-Yp4xsqIlynqA Anyway keep on your journey. You're doing great.

I've always thought this song sounded like a Madonna song that was out of balance. But again I know it better from a remix that cut a lot of the guitar. It becomes really sweet and wistful without that guitar, and it sounds more like something that could have come out in the Erotica era rather than this...

Hmm, everything about this song and video is just average. It's kind of forgettable. Maybe it sounds a bit like Madonna but lacks of her charisma. Anyway, I don't blame Donna for having ambition to be someone bigger. However she should be proud of what she achieved with Madonna. Her and Nikki are the best backup singers ever and will be always remembered by Madonna's fans.

A slightly slower version with Madonna’s vocals and less of that Belinda Leave A Light On production, and this would be a great song. Donna should definitely always stay in the background when it comes to Madonna.
